strated plainly what Tallahassee will be able %
do in the way of increasing her real eSlals

THE NEXT THREE YEARS
Cities are good deal like individusls-sm,
are born great, some achieve greatness and
others have greatness thrust upon them. II i.
patent fact, we think, that Tallahassee was no
born great nor has she had grta mess thrust mo,
her, bat she is to day, certainly, in position 4
more nearly achieve the greatness, which Is du
TO her natural advantages OF location, than eve
before in lIer history
The ball has been set rolling, the game
coming her way and it is only necessary nov
that her citizens should all put their shoulder
to the wheel and with "a long push sroul
push, and push all together" litl the wheel from
the rut AMI set II upon the smooth level groun
of prosperity.
Dr. Mitchell has accomplished more for ib
benefit of Tallahassee by his Villa Michel
SUBURBAN addition and the placing of the lOl
before the public than any one man has done 70
the city during the past Two decades
